The Providence City Council wants to hold a closed door meeting next week to talk about the work schedule lawsuit filed by city firefighters. The suit seeks to block changes in work schedules that Mayor Jorge Elorza says will save Providence five-million dollars a year. The City Council wants to hold an executive session September 8th to talk about their legal strategy in dealing with the lawsuit. Discussions of pending lawsuits is one of the reasons the council is allowed to exclude the public from meetings and enter executive session.
